Alioth recently recommended a web page on speeding up Firefox. I am trying out the suggested settings (except that I’ve set maxrequests to eight instead of thirty) and there seems to be some improvement but not a dramatic one. It’s hard to tell for sure. Anyway, I’ll keep the new settings unless they seem to cause problems later on.
This seems as good a time as any to discuss the themes and extensions that I’ve installed for Firefox (actually, that’s the real point of this post; the bit above is simply an excuse). What I won’t discuss are my gripes with the software (of which I have several), except when they are relevant to my choice of extensions. One of my gripes can be found in a comment I wrote on Alioth’s post above.
